Deck Description

My favorite deck. I'd like to see what I can do to improve it further, though.

This is now a fair contender in my local FNM event. Still can't deal with that one guy and his turn-4 infinite-damage combo. Would a card like Fog be worth it?

Thanks. When you face off as often as I do against a veteran lifegain user who averages 100 life in five turns even while taking heavy damage, infect is just about the only way to go, I think.

I would say a whole lot more pumps to speed this deck up.

That does look like some sound advice for this deck. Were there any specific pumps you had in mind? I'll look around in the mean time for some pumps. Although, I may need a little damage prevention, at least in sideboard, to keep me save from the local FNM champ and his Deciever Exarch/Splinter Twin infinite damage combo.

i very much like this deck :) i do have a couple suggestions though
1. i would take out both tutors (though good, they are overated) and replace them with 1 skithiryx and 1 more crusader
2. i would definitly remove 2 swamps and 2 forests for 4 inmoths, there ubercheap
3. i would take out a septic rats for a fourth crusader and i would switch a reaper for a second swarmloard
lastly i would switch around your instants so you have at least 3 gfth and atleast 2 or 3 giant growths, another card thats not necesary but could help you a lot is vampire's bite; instant pumps are game winners almost every tiem with infect decks and i think your deck could use a couiple more pumps
overall though this is a very good deck :)

Thanks for the good input. I'll keep looking for more Crusaders, and see what I can do to find another Skithryx and some Inkmoth Nexus.For starters, I'll experiment more with creature removal and instant pumps like you said. I think that could really add a lot of power to this deck. After the next FNM I go to, I'll make a post saying how it performed.
